Abstract

Performance of the Alamouti algorithm based M-ary $2{\times}N$ OSTBC(Orthogonal Space Time Block Coded) MIMO(Multi Input Multi Output) system has been simulated varying two main parameters - the number of constellation(M), and the number of receiving antennas(N). Computer simulation has also been carried out using Matlab software for performance comparison between $2{\times}N$ MIMO and MRC(Maximal Ratio Combining) diversity antenna system to evaluate the degree of enhancement achieved through the use of Alamouti $2{\times}N$ MIMO. Under 10 dB EbNo QPSK scenario, $2{\times}1$ MIMO brought 4.2 dB BER improvement over single antenna system and $2{\times}2$ MIMO resulted in 7.4 dB BER improvement over $1{\times}2$ MRC.

Alamouti 알고리즘에 기반한 M-ary $2{\times}N$ OSTBC(Orthogonal Space Time Block Coded) MIMO(Multi Input Multi Output) 시스템의 성능을 두개의 파라미터, 즉 constellation 숫자(M)와 수신안테나 숫자(N)를 변화시키며 컴퓨터 모의실험에 의하여 알아보았다. $2{\times}N$ MIMO 스템의 성능과 단일 송신안테나 시스템의 성능비교를 위하여 MRC(Maximum Ratio Combining) 다이버시티 안테나 시스템의 성능 역시 컴퓨터 모의실험을 통하여 수행하였다. 10 dB EbNo QPSK 시스템의 경우 Alamouti $2{\times}1$ MIMO가 단수안테나 시스템에 비해 4.2 dB의 BER을 향상시켰으며 $2{\times}2$ MIMO는 $1{\times}2$ MRC 대비 7.4 dB의 BER을 향상시켰다.
